Beginners: Use the Stock Market to Learn Python

Details

This presentation introduces Python to Students. We learn a little about the topics listed below:

  • Plain Python
  • NumPy
  • Pandas
  • scikit-learn
  • matplot lib
  • Heroku

We build a simple application which completes these tasks once a day:

  • Acquire Stock Market Prices
  • Create Features from Prices
  • Visualize Features
  • Train Logistic Regression Model (1987-2014)
  • Predict 2015 and 2016
  • Visualize Accuracy and Effectiveness of Predictions
  • Serve the Visualizations from Heroku.com

The software behind this application is served from github:
